About Lighthouse Child & Adolescent Psychology Sydney (Eastern Suburbs)

At Lighthouse Child and Adolescent Psychology, we take a warm and holistic approach to supporting children, teenagers and their families. Our goal is to help each young person develop the confidence and emotional wellbeing they need to reach their full potential.

Based in Double Bay in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, our caring team of experienced child and adolescent psychologists provide evidence based support for a wide range of emotional, social and behavioural challenges. These may include anxiety, depression, school or social difficulties, bullying, eating concerns, trauma, panic, self-harm and phobias.

Learn more about our Clinical Child Psychologists

We understand that every child’s story is different and our psychologists work collaboratively with parents, families, schools and healthcare professionals to ensure that each child receives the right kind of care and understanding.

In addition to individual child therapy, our clinic also offers family counselling, helping parents and children navigate complex emotions, communication issues and family changes such as separation or conflict.

Our Philosophy and Approach

At Lighthouse Child and Adolescent Psychology, we believe that every child deserves to feel understood, supported and empowered. We recognise that children and teenagers often express distress in different ways — through behaviour, emotions or changes in learning and social patterns and that early support can make a lasting difference.

Our approach is collaborative, evidence based and compassionate. Each assessment and therapy plan is tailored to the individual child, ensuring that interventions are developmentally appropriate and grounded in the latest psychological research. We work closely with parents, schools, GPs and other health professionals to create a consistent and supportive network around the young person.

We value the importance of creating a safe and welcoming environment where children feel comfortable to share their thoughts and experiences. By combining professional expertise with empathy and genuine care, we aim to build trust and resilience in every child we work with.

Whether a child is struggling with anxiety, mood changes, learning difficulties, or social challenges, our psychologists provide practical tools, strategies and insights that help them and their families move toward positive change.

Our Values

At Lighthouse Child and Adolescent Psychology, our values guide everything we do, from the way we listen to families to how we design every child’s care plan. They reflect our commitment to professionalism, empathy and genuine care.

Compassion and Understanding

We believe that every child’s emotions and experiences deserve to be heard. We approach each young person and family with kindness, patience and respect.

Collaboration and Connection

We know that children thrive when families, schools and health professionals work together. Our psychologists collaborate closely with parents, teachers, GPs and specialists to ensure the best outcomes for every child.

Evidence Based Practice

All of our assessments and interventions are grounded in proven psychological research and best practice principles. We continually update our knowledge to provide the highest quality care.

Respect for Individuality

We recognise that each child has unique strengths, challenges and needs. Our team takes the time to understand the whole person, not just the presenting problem and we tailor our approach accordingly.

Integrity and Professionalism

Families place enormous trust in us, and we honour that by maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards. Transparency, honesty and confidentiality are central to our work.

Growth and Empowerment

Our goal is to help children and adolescents develop lifelong coping skills, confidence and emotional resilience. We empower families with tools to support their child’s growth long after therapy ends.
